One of the first operas to use historical events and people, it tells the story of Nero’s infatuation with the young and beautiful Poppea as she tries to make him divorce his wife Ottavia and take her as his new queen and empress of Rome. The Coronation of Poppea is a rich, complex and thoroughly modern work; a world populated by ruthless and all-too-human characters where lust and ambition ultimately triumph over virtue.

It is also one of the greatest: the music is of consistently high quality, making considerable technical demands on the singers, and covers a remarkable range of emotional expression.” First performed in 1735, its twisty plot of betrayals and revelations is worthy of Shakespeare and is based on a story from the Renaissance epic poem Orlando Furioso. Contrary to the old Shakespeare trope of men playing the women’s parts, both male leads were written in the alto range! This production will be performed twice: Feb 27, 7pm, and March 1, 2pm.

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) was revered during his brief life as the genius of Italian comic opera. The intermezzo La Serva Padrona (1733) is his most enduring, as it stylistically bridges the gap between the Baroque and Classical periods. Originally part of a larger work, it now stands alone as a short opera full of relatable characters and modern-sounding melodies. Pergolesi also wrote plenty of sacred music. As he was dying of tuberculosis, he was putting the finishing touches on his Stabat Mater, which became immensely popular after his death. It is written for soprano and alto duet, with accompanying strings.

Now they are re-inventing themselves again, by reclaiming their historical and architectural legacy, as the revival of Over-the-Rhine spreads north toward Liberty. The first stage of their rehabilitation went to the undercroft, where the material and physical needs of their parishioners are met. The second stage went to restoring the sanctuary, where the light now shines through the 2nd story stained glass windows for the first time in over 30 years. Next is the organ. First installed in the 1860s by Cincinnati organ builders Koehnken & Grimm, the instrument is a significant example of early American organ-building craft.
In a fine example of putting young people in the service of the past, the students of CCM’s Early Music Lab will come together to perform a sampler concert of music for lute, harpsichord, viola da gamba, and voice, to raise money for this exquisite piece of our city’s — and nation’s — history. Come and enjoy a first peek at the sanctuary (you’ll still be able to smell the fresh paint!) and contribute to the return of this gem to the fabric of our community. Admission is free, but donations toward the restoration will be gratefully accepted!20160226T193000+39.112427;-84.517294Prince of Peace Lutheran, Over-the-Rhine @ 1528 Race St, Cincinnati, OH 45202, USA0CCM Early Music Lab Sampler Concert/Organ BenefitFundraiser benefit1ai1ec-1752@catacoustic.com20180218T043455ZCincinnati Early Music FestivalCantigium Vocal Ensemble returns to close out the Early Music Festival 2016.

The royal court at Dresden enjoyed its golden age from 1694 to 1763. Under the rule of Frederick Augustus I (Augustus the Strong) the Dresden court was an extraordinary environment in which Italian music flourished, heavily influenced by the cultures of Florence and Venice. As a result, Dresden became an important center of European 18th century culture and attracted the best musicians from all over Europe. Tonight’s program features some of the unpublished, unknown, and unheard vocal masterworks from the Dresden court collection of the Saxon State Library, with and without instrumental accompaniment, by a range of composers from Anonymous to Zelenka.20170204T193000+39.164541;-84.545888St. Boniface, Northside @ 1750 Chase Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45223, USA0Cantigium Vocal Ensemble: Unheard Italian Masterworks from the Dresden Courtfree1ai1ec-1754@catacoustic.com20180218T043455ZCincinnati Early Music FestivalEnd your weekend with a time of reflection as you hear ancient texts of prayer and praise sung by the soaring voices of the Christ Church Cathedral Choir.

“An Enclosed Garden: Lyrics of Love from the Old Testament”
The Renaissance saw a flourishing of art, poetry, and music that the world had never seen before. Composers active during this era were provided with a wealth of poetic resources from which to draw inspiration. One of the resources that provided a unique non-secular perspective was from one of the most exquisitely descriptive and emotionally stirring texts of the Bible: Song of Solomon, which offers both a biblical view of romantic love and a fascinating study in allegory.
GRAMMY® Award-winning conductor Jason Harris leads Schola Cincinnati in this exploration of sacred poetry and music through composers who deftly merge the frivolity and amorousness of the madrigal and chanson with the austerity and profound spirituality of their church music. Come hear this professional 14-voice early music ensemble as they perform the works of Lassus, Victoria, and Palestrina, among others, in one of Cincinnati’s most beautiful venues: St. Peter in Chains Cathedral.20170210T193000+39.103833;-84.519322St Peter in Chains, Downtown @ 325 West 8th Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202, USA0Schola Cincinnatifree$15 general, $5 student1ai1ec-1954@catacoustic.com20180218T043455ZCincinnati Early Music Festival513-515-9151; caladrianensemble@gmail.comThe Caladrian Ensemble presents Jennifer Roig-Francoli on baroque violin.
